Blooming" may be very we'll in it's
place, but it will mover amount to

prising capitalists of the country the
condition of affairs about us, the
means Of improvement within our

President ID. James Winn informs
us that tho machinery for which on
order was given some months ago is
expected to arrive here about tho last
Of tins month, and that it will be put
up Immediately upon its arrival, and
that the running and manufacturing
facilities Of tho factory will be greatly
increased. So much so as to require
the services of twenty five hands more.
MIR. Winn is now in negotiation for
hands to that number, and if there
arc any persons in this or adjoining
counties who would like to procure
employment in the Sumter Cotton
Factory, they had better sec or write
at once to tho president on this sub
jcct. President Wim also informed
us that the factory is i'll most flour
ishing condition, and that he has more
orders for yarn than can now be filed
(.ldbecille Press and Banmer.)
The Ncwbcrry papers arc talking of
Il life tenure for Judges. From such
calamity may tho good Lord deliver
us. We want no legaliZcd aristecracy
in South Carolina. We want 10 man
in office who is above responsibility to
the people. Tho Constitution pre.
vents the Legislature from cnacting
any law which shall be retro active.
Not SO with our Courts. They may
enact back-acting laws which may
ruin tho people. The Supreme Court,
rs such, is intalliblo. They are so be-
cause there is no power on earth TO
review their action. But as citizens,
as candidates for recollection to office,
tho members of that Court arc &C.
countablc at the bar Of public opinion.
If they arc unable to sustain them
selves, then let them stand aside.
There is no man in South Carolina so
transccndcntly great over his follows
that Wo would put him in Office for
ever. a littlo change Of Judges, like
q little change in other offices, would
do an immense good, and would give
young and aspiring lawyers incentive
to seek higher attainmcnts.
(Darlington Nc,cs.)
The special attention of our readers
is called to the very interesting report
Of the president of the Darlington
Manufacturing Company which will
be found in another column. The
showing mado is admirable. While
they "might be justified in declaring q
small Dividend" tho Company decided
TO devote the entire income TO adding
to tho present plant. The number Of
spindlcs will shortly bo increased by
over 700, sixty per cent. being there
by added 10 the capacity for produc-
ton. Sixteen additional houses for
tho accommodation of the operatives
arc being erected, and tho mill is
prospering in every respect. Such an
Institution, conducted as it is with SO
much business caution and judgment
